A Powerful Love Stone. Rose Quartz is a pink quartz crystal whose meaning is about love, as it is a stone that epitomizes the vibration of love. This may be why this stone is symbolic of the energy of love, peace and calming energy.
The Declaration of Independence. We celebrate American Independence Day on the Fourth of July every year. We think of July 4, 1776, as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation.
As we celebrate the 235th birthday of our great nation, we asked a number of community leaders to share their thoughts on what the Fourth of July means to them. Here are the responses we received: The Fourth of July reminds me very simply of our freedom. This year, like last, is also a time for reflection on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as our youngest adult child, Sgt. Kenneth Butler, will be heading back to Afghanistan in a couple weeks, like he did at this time last year.
